1Glorify the name of thy Guardian-Lord Most High, 2Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion; 3Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance; 4And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture, 5And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble. 6By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget, 7Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden. 8And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path). 9Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer). 10The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah): 11But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones, 12Who will enter the Great Fire, 13In which they will then neither die nor live. 14But those will prosper who purify themselves, 15And glorify the name of their Guardian-Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer. 16Day (behold), ye prefer the life of this world; 17But the Hereafter is better and more enduring. 18And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation),- 19The Books of Abraham and Moses.
